Germany's War Dogs.

One of the novel features by means
of which Germany will defend herself
in the impending" war is a battalion
of trained dogs, which are being drilled
by regiment of chasseurs at Lubben.
Commenting on the value Of the new
fighting-or rather biting power, the
existence of which is confirmed in Ger
man military publications, the Petit
Journal advises General Boulanger to
act on the principle OF ''tooth for a
TOOTH" and continues: ssIf the Ger
mans continue the education of their
dogs, we ought, without delay, to en-
list regiment of cats, and the battles
which these two hereditary enemies
will fight will lessen the monotony of
field life" Not bad idea this, if only
the Petit journal would find means of
curing the instinct of cat TO turn tail
at the sight of dog. If this difficulty
can be overcome there is no knowing
what the cats may not do, for their rep
utation as warriors has been great ever
since Cambyses gained his great vic
tory over the Egyptians by the help of
an army of Egyptian cats.--PaU Mad

How to Choose an Orange.

The sweetest orange and the richest
Is the dark. rusty-coated fruit. Pick
out the dingiest-looking skinned orange
and you will get the best. Another
way is to choose by the weight The
heaviest is the best because it has the
thinnest skin and the most juice, while
a thick-skinned orange is apt to be dry.
The Mandarin and Tangerine are good
varieties, They are called the .kid
glove orange" because they may be
eaten without soiling kid glove. The
skin is loose and can be pulled very
readily apart, leaving little pockets Of
juice unbroken. There is slight musk
odor to the skin that many dislike, but
the juice is sweet and delicious. They
are much darker in color and smaller
than the Jamaica and Havana orange
and have slight indentation in the
